Sean went to work, and as he went in, a Familiar face approached him. It was Cody Park. His hair was blown in the wind, the pink color was even clearer as it was reflected by the sun, and he fixed it. "Cindy, you grew an inch… how was your mom? You told me she was sick…" Cody said in his deep voice. "Mom is still in the hospital… she will be fine…" Sean replied, "Are you feeling well? You sound different." Cody brushes away some of Cindy/Sean's stray strands of hair and smiles, "You look beautiful as always… that is why I love you." Cody kissed his forehead. Sean was stunned, shocked, and not expecting what just happened. "Won't you say I love you too?" Cody asked, "I-I love you too." Sean blurted, "That's my good girl." Sean blushed, and when he looked away, he saw that Skyler was a bit upset. Cody held her hand, "I'll see you later…" Cody winked at her and went inside the building. "So what is your relationship with Cody?" Skyler asked, "He is just a friend… a very caring friend…" Sean blurted, Skyler, give Cindy a bracelet with a game console pendant, 'Keep it…" Skyler said and went inside the office, Sean just followed and was working, and Cody kept on visiting him in his cubicle, so Skyler stepped in, "I pay you to develop animation for the games, not to fool around…" Skyler warned Cody, and of course, Cody went to his own office on the 3rd floor, Cindy's office is on the 7th floor, and so is Skyler's office.
After work, Sean went down to go home, and he was at the lobby when the guards told him goodbye. While he was out, Cody stopped his motorbike and told Cindy to get on. Cindy put on the helmet, and Cody drove her home, and she was home already. "Cody… thank you…" Sean said, and Cody kissed her cheek, and Sean was stunned, "I'll see you soon, my love." Cody said and left. Sean went into the house still confused. He texted his sister, but still no response. He called her, but the line was not always connecting; he was a bit worried. So when he got dressed, he checked his social media, and the school was already under enrollment, so he went to enroll online. Just a few minutes later, he received a text from Lemon and talked about how he had already gotten enrolled as well. After both got enrolled, Sean checked his phone for news about his sister, but still nothing. He later found out that Cody is known for being a playboy and that he had a lot of girlfriends, but her sister is just a fan, so it is impossible that his sister is so close to Cody and he is being flirtatious.
Sean remembered how his sister liked someone named Chan Yeon Park, a mystery singer. He got pink hair and face covered as he sings and dances, sometimes wears glasses or an eye mask, and he sings beautifully and dances gracefully.
Sean lies down on his bed and starts wondering why his sister attracts so many men while he can't even make Lemon like him.
He then received a message from Audrey.
Audrey: Hi Sean, can we meet at a café? I just want to hang out with my bestie…
Sean: Sure, do you want me to find a place?
Audrey: No worries, I already found a place. I'll send you the address.
Sean: Okay, I will come…
Audrey sent a location.
Audrey: See you in two days.
Sean felt relieved as he was going to meet Audrey, literally his new best friend. The next day, it was already Saturday, and Skyler visited Sean. Sean went out, "Hi… is your sister there? I brought some flowers…" Skyler said while holding roses, "My sister is out and I don't know where she is going… do you want to come in?" Sean offered, he actually didn't know what he was doing, and so Skyler went in, Sean offered some drinks and cupcakes, "I bought this yesterday, I hope you will like it," Sean said. Skyler tried, and he nodded approvingly. "So good, where did you buy this?" Skyler asked, "Oh, a Filipino-owned bakery, it is called Mother's Bread." Sean explained, and Skyler took note of it. He sees game consoles, "Do you play games?" Skyler asked. Sean looked at the game console, "Yeah, I usually play your games…" Sean said, "Well, would you like to have a 1 vs 1?" Skyler asked, "Sure, I would love to…" Sean said, and he immediately turned on the game setup and logged in to his account. He changed his name to Sean, and the two played. Almost every level Sean would win, and Skyler was impressed by how well Sean was playing; he was reminded of Seasalt. "Have you played for a long time now?" Skyler asked, "Yeah, I did." Sean responded, "Since when?" Skyler asked, "When I was 13, I guess, I have been playing your game… it is nice that I finally have played with you in person, you are a great developer, I hope I can play more of your original in the future like before" Sean explained, "I probably will, having a player like you makes me motivated… yes I finally won" Skyler said, as he looked at the screen, "That yellow haired guy before was also a gamer of your games, he look up to you like his savior…" Sean said, trying to make Skyler like Lemon as well, "Oh, that guy, he is a gamer… I guess it is a small world after all," Skyler stated, "indeed what a small world". After playing, Skyler left as Cindy didn't come back as he expected, "Well, I guess your sister had too much fun outside, I'll see you around, kid, and great game…" Skyler left. Sean felt like his heart was about to explode, Skyler was definitely like someone's dream guy, and he was very handsome, and also he smells good like the smell of the sea breeze and pine.
"Why does my sister get the hot guys…" Sean plays music and dances like he is having a party, "I should make my heart pump like crazy from dancing, not from men." he dances the night away as his moves were smooth like butter, it was like disco overload, he's into that and good to go, and doesn't need permission to dance. "Why did I stop dancing in college? Just look at my moves, so flawless," Sean said to himself as he danced in front of the mirror. Indeed, he was a dancer in high school; he was part of a hip hop and contemporary dance troupe. Sean's phone pops a message from Cindy,
Cindy: Mom was awake three days ago. I forgot to tell you, I will be home with you soon.
